CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Fair Bhsiness in Spite of Dall Times, OMAHA'S CLEARINGS ON THE DECREASE vhenDol Loeal Business Enterprises Generally Dall with No Very Good Prospeot of Any Rmmediate Improvement—Col= leotions Are a Drag. ‘(‘mlhn has felt the effects of the money stringency in a decreased trade and in nlower collections. This was to be expected and nothing is to be gained by denying tho fact. The only community which can hope 1o escape a financial storm like the present is the emall and isolated country village that has neither business or financial institutions to feel its offects. The larger the city and the more extensive its commerce the moro liabie it is to feel the full force of every dis- surbance in the business world. While Omsha has felt the present de- pression she has withstood the storm most admirably, partly because of the strength of her financial institutions and partly because sho saw tho storm coming and prepared for itin time. That there have been ro very disastrous fallures and so fow of any kind has boen the subject of congratulation among buginess men. As onc man ox- pressed it, “wo all hope for the best but are Pprepared for the worst that may come." The general tendency has been toward a reduction in the volume of business. Ex- penaes have been reduced and the outflow of movey stopped as far as possible. Jobbing Trade. The johbers of Omaha, as a rule, are not ' to do much business, but are allowing trady to drift nllmfg as it will. Noone ap- pears to be inclined to push sales but rather to count smail -orders that are casily paid for. At the same time the total volume of trads has been larger than one would natur- ally expect under the eircumstances. Ne- briska, upon the whole, has been and still 18 in’ ‘notty fair shape and so long as the furmees aro prosperous no financial aisturb- ance however great can kill business en- tirely. At this season of the year farmors aro us- unlly conipelléd 1o ask for time on their store accounts, uven during the most prosperous yeurs, "The jobbers usually expect collections 10 be slow during the middle of the summer. Under the oxisting conditions it is noustrange that coliections should be slow in Nebraska, and it is anticipated that they will grow worso until the new crop is gathered. There Wiievo been occasions when colloctions in No- braska wero worse than thoy are at the present time, Jobbers generally are_buying as little as possible, and are following & very conservi tize policy. By limiting purchases and re ducing their own obligations they ure putting thomselves in shape to carry their cus- tomocs Lo a geater oxtent if the occasion 1 puld arise, tern jobbers appear to be following a »r policy, and their traveling men are visiting ube trade, but not attempting to purl sales.. Business men all over ave striv- ing to reduce their liabilities and at the ~ same time avoid the creation of new obliga- tious. Local manufacturers are generally fol- lowing & couservative policy as well @s tho jobbers. Their action, how- ever, i3 of moro interest to the ' gener: public as so large a proportion of the labor- ing population is directly dependent upon them for support. A good many manu- facturers have greatly reduced their force of employes and others have practicaliy closed down for the time being. Kvery manu- facturer aims to keep on hand a surplus of faadn anda great deal of capital s tied up n this way. It appears to be the policy of the manufacturers to run out their surplus stocks as the trado requires it, and reduce the production of new goods until the out. comeof the present fiuancial disturbance 1s. bettor understood. This policy does not- ap- ar to be peculiar to local manufacturers, but is being followed to a greater or lesser extent by the manufacturers the country over. This action of the manufacturers if carried on for a sufficient time must make itself felt in more ways than one, By depriving labor- ing men of their income, money in general circulation must be greatly reduced and tho retail trade seriously affected. Omaha Bank Clearings, The clearings at Omaha for the woek end- 1ng June 2 were £,508,007, which was a de- crease of 5.7 pex.cent a$ compared with the corresponding weel last year. This is the first time in & long while that tho clearings at Omaha have shiown a decrease and bears out the statement mado above that business men are pursuing a conservative policy and keeping down the volume of trflle until the outlook is mora_favorable. Very few citics in the country show any increaso in the clear- ings due to légitimate business transactions. Sllver Mines Closing, The closing of tho silver mines in the western states and the throwing out of em- ployment of thousands of men will be felt by “ho Omaha jobbers who have a large trade in theso sections, The lmpression, however, appoars to prevail that the mines will not romain long closed and the effocts will be only temporary, “The calling of the extra session of congress is meeting with general approval from Omaho business men. While they do not thiuk that any radical relief can be afforded by congress they think that the callng of an extra session will tend to restore confidence, As the present trouble 18 moro of a scare than gnything olse any move that tends to & lessen tho excitemont and restore contidence canuot-fail to bo & great heip. AS DUN SEES 1T, More Scare than Hurt in the Situation —Hopo for the Future, Mr. W. H. Roberson, in his weekly review of trade frow the standpoint of the iercan- tile agency of R. G. Dun & Co., snys: “The only promising thing which the horo- scope of the future reveals just now is the specinl session of congress called by Presi- dent Clevoland for August 7. While many financiers think that past legislation on the silver question has little if any real connec- tion with the present situation, the fact remains that the majority of our bankers ure firm in their opinion that no relief can be had until congress ‘akos notion, and their ideas prevail. Hence it may as well bo accepled as a fact that there will be no material improvement in the inaucial situation for another month, “There is uore scare than hurt in this orisis. A very bright gentleman, who is not @ banker or 4" merchant, but who is, never- theless, o skillful financier, illustrates the condition by the story of the ghastly practi- cal joke some medical studgnts pluynJ upon welr professor. They took him to the dis- secting table and forcibly stretehea him out upon it, some standing over him with their surgical apparatus, us if about to begin oper- ations, 'Choy thoughtfully concluded to blindfold him so that he might not see all the movements made. Theroupon one of the party drow a wet towel across the prostrate form of the frightened man and he expwed. In the opinion of many men the lLfe has been taken from trade in Just about as unexpected and trivial & man- ner, but the effect is fully as bad as if the country's resouices wero really exhausted. The only consolation is that we may hope for & quick recovery when the people come to an apbreciation of the real situation and their confidence returns. ‘Locally, trade in grocertes is good, in dry goods hardwars fair, in boots and shoes slow, snd in other lines usually indifferent. Collections up o the middle of June were bl than average and since that da far from satisfactory. Country demands for lumber kecp up protty well, but in the city trade is bad enough. In rotail circles & great cry comes up because of extremoly slow local collec- tions. Many of the retall houses which have hitherto done a large credit TLisiess aro mkluf up their minds to sell hereafter for cash onmly. [t is believed by muny werchants that oue of the few good results of tiwes like these will be that Omahka trade, nlways largely done ou credit, will approach very close to cash from this timoe forward. Lo fuialiies forthe week have besn THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY. JULY 2 though Omal esoaped protty woll considering the causes for ap- prehension which have oxisted.

The total number of failures for the first six months of 1893, in Nebraska out- sido of Omaha. was 116; the liabilities, $021 - 684 assots, §723,4 “Yestorday saw two banks at Beatrice close their doors, the American (state) bank and the Nebraska National. The Keith County bank at Ogallala and the Farmers and Merchants Banking company at Red Cloud suspendod on Friday. ‘Some surpriso is expressed at the rathor oxtreme position taken by the comptroller of the currency in requiring suspended banks 10 show cash assets of 75 per cent of their deposits before permitting them to reopen. It is believed the Yyequirement 1s not only unusual, but will work a sorious hardship to many deserving institutions forced by conditions they could not foresee or avert to close their doors. If the require- ment is insisted upon comparatively few of the unfortunate banks will ever be able to regain their feet.” OLEARING HOUSE CERTIFICATES. Nature and Value of the Expedient Adopted by Eastera Citlos. ‘While the reports trom the large finanoial centers have much to say regarding Clear- ing House certificates the real nature of a certificate of this kind appears to be very imperfectly understood. In times of ordinary business tranquility a bank holds in its vaults money sufficient to meet all ordiuary de- mands, Ii case there should arise a sudden demand for money in excess of the amount on hand, the bank callsin its short time loans, and, if necessary, borrows from other banks, putting up as security the notes whaich it has discounted. This latter course is only ‘possible when the bank 18 sound and its commercial paper good. In ordinary times a solvent bank has no trouble in bor- rowing all the money that'it may require, even to stand a run. When there 1s a widespread monoy strin- gency the cese is altered very materially. Then tho banks are all would-ba borrow ers and none aro willing to lend so that some other expedient must be resorted to. Here where the Clearing House comes to theo rescue. A bank in need of ussistance places its bills receivable with the Clearing House and in return receives a cer- tificate, generally reciting that the bank has madoa satisfactory deposit of bills and se- curities, and that the certificate will be taken- in sottlement of clearing house ox- changes. As a matter of convenience the certificates are issued in even amounts of say 5,000 each. The practical effect of the arrange- ment is that bills receivable are converted into money, so far as the sottiement of Clear- ing Houso balances are concernea. There is this very important restriction whichappears 10 be lost sight of by most persons, and At is a restriction that greatly curtails theuseful- ness of the certificate. 1f the banks dealt wholly with each other and had not outside connections the certificate might run in- definitely, but the certificate is of no use whatever as against a depositor demanding actual cash money and it is equally value- less, under present arrangements, for remit- tance to out of town corresvondents, A city depositor sends his check for $1,000 10 corraspondent in_another town who'de- sits it with his bank which in turn sends t, either direqgtly or indirectly, toa bank in the city from which it came. The bunk re- ceiving the check sondy™ 4t shrough the Clearinpg House to the bank on which #% was drawn, anl re ceives for it a Clearing House certificate It cannot remit this certificate to its cor responaent in‘payment of the check, and as exchange will necessarily be scarce it will be forced to send cash money, so that tho practical outcome is that all checks sent out of town must bo paja_in cash money, and that only thoso checks that ciby depositors draw in favor of cach other can be settled with clearin house certificates. = If the “balance of trade is against a city its suvply of cash will boe drained away until there is Jittle or none left and there is no escaping the ultimate result. Looking at the subject % this lizhtit would appear that the isste of Clearing House certificates is a very useful expedient, but that its effect is mostly local and that it is only calculated to relieve temporary necessitles, 1017242 1709137 COLLECTIONS SLOW IN OMAHA, Mon Who Defer Payments Rosponsible for Business Being Dull. The article in Tne Bee regarding the necessity of keeping colloctions up as closely as possible and the good that might be done if every citizen would see to it that his littie vills were all paid promptly has caused a good desl of comment among business men, It has led to a comparison of notes and a good many new facts have been brought out, Ttis surprising tolearn towhat unreason- able lengths thoe credit system has been car- ried in Omaha and how dificult it is to col- lect stere bills from men promiunent in public affairs and who are known to have a good income. Collections in Omaha are very slow, but not entarely as a result of the present money stringency, as they were slow when the times were generally considered good, The fact 1s, it has been a long time since collec- tions were really good in Omaha, There does not appear to bo any reason for it ex- cept thata great many people in Omaha have fallen into the habit of not paying their bills promptly and that prevents the retail merchant from meeting his obligations with that promptness which business men like to sce. Slow collections always reduce to groator or less extent the volume of business and no ono ever nced look for a good retail trade in any city until the collections are reasonubly good. 4 L After a partial loss of crops in Nebraska in 1890 collections were slow in the country, butas soon as the farmers raisod o good crop they paid up and coliections have been good ever siuce. In Omaha, however, the collections did nov show the same improve- ment, although the business conditions were certainly more fuvorable. At oune time there wero quite a good many idle men in the city which was taken as an excuse for the slow collections, but during the past year or more there has been no great com- plaint of the workers being very much in excess of the work to be done.” Slow col- lections have become chronic in Omaha. A business man ooserves that the worst men to collect from are those who have money in the bank whieh is drawing inter- est and which they will not touch to pa, their bills, If some of the prominent citi- zens knew how their names wero boing passed from mouth to mouth as horrible ex- umfiu of slow pay they would look after their bills a little more closely, ““There is Hon, —— ——, whose name is familar to every one, he has not paid his bill at my shop in three months,” said a butcher. *T have boen selling goods to an Omaha organ- ization composed of bankers and prominent werchants and have been carrying the account and can mot get e check out of them," said o retailer, A member of the eity council was heard to tell a collector who was pro- testing that a bill was long overduo aud ought 1o be paid: "I want you to under- stand, young man, that I have the moucy in my pocket to pay every dollar that I owe, Lit I do not propose to be hurried.” ke did Bt pay the bill. ‘'hiere have been no failures of importance in the city during the week and although the money situation is not encouraging at finan- clal centers it Is possible to keep at a d tance much of the trouble if the salaried mea aud all others haviug regular income will see to it that their swall accounts ave all paid, thus enabling the merchants to meat their olligations a3 they fall due, COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Monthly Deliveries Aoccomplished Without Disaster Oaused Wheat to Advance. PECULIAR FEATURES OF THE DEALINGS In & Nomber of Cases Deliveries Wero Made by Large Houses 80 s to Kffect Bettlements on Continots. OR10AGO, July 1.—Wheat shot up today nearly 8¢ a bushel. Monthly deliverles accom= plished without disaster, except clearancos of of 2,000,000 bu. within threo days, backed by the calling together of congress, scemed to restore confidonce and glve tho market a buoy- ancy of feeling to which It hud been a stranger for many a week. Tho great July delivery to- day, notwithstanding the widespread appre- henslon, passed serenely, The greatest anxlety was directod toward wheat and although 7,000,000 bushels or more of the 16,000,000 bushels of contract wheat was ntaround, no one was seen running away from it; In fact the bulk of it landed back into the sume strong hands which sent it forth. Thut lifted & load from the spirits of tho spec- ulators, but thore was a prospectivo vision ot the great welght of the silyer problom being lifted from the shoulders of a long-suffering business community, which had a far more stimulating effoct. The calling of an_extra session of congress to conslder the financial situation seemed like & soaking rain on a parched country. It had an immediately reviving effoct. Wheat folt it at once und opened 1c higher for July and 1%¢ advance for September. * That was only the beginning of a more decided riso, and s the market was ‘coming to a_close, the advance renched 2%c for July and 134¢ for September, compared with Friduy's closing figures. The latest trading Wasstrong at the oponin of the duy. Tho week's clearances from both coasts of wheat and flour were the largest of the crop yeur, They amounted ‘to 8,071,000 bu., compared with 8,216,000 bu. u year ago. © exports from the Atlantic seaboard ro- ported today umounted 1o about 700,000 bu. Uables show wome appreciation of the advance thoere und the reports concorninz the spring wheat prospects were vory discouraging. These were the maln foatures of the day's news on the bull side. There were somo pecullar features in the deliveries. In many cases deliveries wers made by large houses 5o as to offéet sottle- ments on contracts and then the whole \as taken back for carryiug profits. The Cudalys, through Eggleston, dolivered out a largo lind ot wient. “Of wll' tho wheat Kolug around Armour took perhaps two-thirds. queer froak in the trado was Pararidge taking 00,000 bu, of wheat asa carrier. Corn was moderately active. July contract wore not as looked for and at the opening thero were a good many buying ~ orders for July.

Tho offer- ings were lighter und the demuand firmer. Provisions felt the effect of heavy deliverfes on July contracts and big receipts. Trade was light and 1t was almost fmpossible for some time after the opening to dispose of any- thing for July, There were no buyers for this 1penth, Toward the close Cudahy came to the resue by buying a little July “stuff.
